Effective date: 23 July 2026
This summarises our privacy practices. For more information, see our full Privacy Policy below.
Converta doesn’t have user accounts and doesn’t collect personal data from you.
Your Library and favourite currencies stay on your device and, if you turn on iCloud sync, in your own personal iCloud account — never on a server of ours.
We don’t run advertising or third-party tracking SDKs. The only outside data we ever see is anonymised website analytics and, if you’re a TestFlight beta tester, anonymised diagnostic logs from Apple.

1. Overview
Welcome to Converta’s Privacy Policy. Converta helps you keep track of currencies without asking much of you in return — and this Policy explains exactly what that “much” is, why, and what rights you have over it, while also covering the legal ground required under regulations like the GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), and PIPA (Korea). By using Converta or visiting myungjoon.com/converta, you’re agreeing to what’s laid out here. If anything in this Policy doesn’t sit right with you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
2. Important Definitions
A couple of terms come up often in this Policy, so let’s define them upfront:
Personal Data (sometimes called “PII”) is any information that could be used to identify you specifically. Data that’s been fully anonymised and can’t be traced back to you doesn’t count as such.
iCloud is Apple’s cloud storage service. If you switch on iCloud sync, some of your Converta data travels through your own Apple ID account, governed by Apple’s own privacy policy rather than ours.
Service Providers are the outside tools we rely on to run Converta and its website:
Framer, which builds and hosts the website;
Framer Analytics, which gives us anonymised, aggregated insight into who’s visiting the site;
TestFlight, Apple’s platform for beta testing; and
App Store, which is how you download the app.
3. Who’s Responsible for Your Data
Converta is built and run by Myung Joon Kang, an independent student developer. We’re the one responsible for Converta and any data described in this Policy. There’s no company or team behind this, just us. For anything you choose to store on iCloud, Apple is separately responsible under its own privacy policy, available at apple.com/legal/privacy.
4. What We Collect
Using the app.
Converta doesn’t collect any personal data from you. When you add an item to your Library or edit your favourite currencies, the app saves what it needs to — the currencies you’ve chosen and a few internal IDs — locally on your device, and on your personal iCloud account if you’ve turned sync on. We never see or store any of it ourselves.
Beta testing via TestFlight.
If you’re helping us test Converta through TestFlight, Apple may share some device info with us — your device type, OS version, battery level, and any crash or diagnostic logs. We only use this to squash bugs and improve the app; it’s never used to track you elsewhere.
Visiting the website.
The site doesn’t collect anything that identifies you personally. We do use Framer Analytics to see anonymised, aggregated stats — referrer, pages visited, general country, OS, browser, and device type — but none of it can be traced back to you as an individual.
If you reach out to us.
If you email us directly, we’ll see whatever you choose to share (your name, email, and message) — and we’ll only use it to reply to you.
In practice, here’s how you stay in control:
iCloud sync is controlled by your device’s system settings, not by anything inside Converta. Turning it off for Converta at the system level stops syncing; your data stays locally on that device.
Deleting an item from your Library or favourites in the app removes it from your device and, on next sync, from iCloud.
Deleting the app clears all locally stored data; if iCloud sync was on, a copy may remain in your iCloud account until removed from all devices or from your iCloud storage settings directly.
Leaving the TestFlight beta stops any further diagnostic data from being shared with us.
5. Why We’re Allowed to Process This
For readers in the EU or UK, here’s the legal basis under the GDPR: mostly our legitimate interest in keeping Converta running smoothly and responding to you (Article 6(1)(f)), and the fact that processing is necessary to provide a feature you’ve asked for, like saving your Library (Article 6(1)(b)).
6. How We Use It
Whatever limited data does reach us, we use it only to: keep the app and site running well, fix bugs, respond to your messages, and meet any legal obligations we’re subject to. We don’t use anything to build a profile of you or make automated decisions about you.
7. The Tools We Rely On
The Service Providers listed in Section 2 help us run Converta and its website — they’re not allowed to use your data for anything beyond that. Anything you sync via iCloud travels straight between your device and Apple; it never passes through us. We don’t sell, rent, or trade your data, and we never have. We’d only ever share information if the law required it, or if it were genuinely necessary to protect someone’s safety or rights.
8. How Long We Keep Things
Data you create in the app stays on your device, and on iCloud if you’ve enabled sync, until you delete it, switch sync off, or uninstall the app — we don’t hold a copy either way. TestFlight diagnostic data is kept only as long as it takes us to sort out the underlying issue. Analytics stay with our Service Provider in aggregated form, per their own retention practices. If you’ve emailed us, we’ll hang on to that conversation for as long as feels reasonable to keep good records.
9. Where Your Data Travels
We’re based between Korea and Canada, and the Service Providers we use may process data in the US, the EU, or elsewhere. Where that happens, we lean on the safeguards those providers already have in place — like standard contractual clauses — to keep things properly protected. iCloud transfers are handled entirely under Apple’s own policy, separately from ours.
10. Keeping Things Secure
We take reasonable steps to protect any data that does pass through our hands. Anything you store via iCloud is secured according to Apple’s own practices, which are outside our control.
11. Your Rights
If GDPR or UK GDPR applies to you, you have the right to ask for a copy of your data, correct it, have it deleted, restrict how it’s processed, object to processing based on legitimate interest, request it in a portable format, and complain to your local supervisory authority if you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled things. Since your Library data lives locally and, if you choose, on your own iCloud account, you can exercise most of these rights yourself just by editing or deleting things in the app or adjusting your iCloud settings. For anything else, contact us and we’ll sort it out.
If you’re a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what we collect and why, ask us to delete it, correct it if it’s wrong, opt out of any sale or sharing of it (which we don’t do), and not be treated differently for exercising these rights. Just contact us and we’ll take care of it.

Just email us and we’ll take care of it — we’ll ask a few questions first to make sure it’s really you.
13. Children’s Privacy
Converta isn’t directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age where you live), and we don’t knowingly collect personal data from kids. If we ever find out that’s happened by accident, we’ll delete it as soon as we can.
14. Tracking
We don’t track you across other apps or websites for advertising purposes, so we don’t ask for tracking permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework — there’s simply nothing to track.
15. Cookies and Site Analytics
The website may use cookies through our Service Providers, but only to generate the anonymised analytics mentioned in Section 4 — nothing that builds a personal profile of you. You can turn cookies off in your browser if you’d like, though some site features might not work as smoothly.
16. Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
We’re based in Korea, so Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) applies to how we handle personal information, in addition to the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA protections described above. Under PIPA, you have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, and suspension of processing of your personal information, and to be told how any of it is used or shared. In practice, this covers the limited data described in Section 4 — mainly TestFlight diagnostics, aggregated site analytics, and anything you’ve sent us directly by email; your Library and currency data stays on your device and iCloud account, entirely outside our reach. We don’t operate a separate Chief Privacy Officer function given the small scale of processing involved, but we are personally accountable for PIPA compliance and will handle any request under this section the same way we handle requests under Section 11. If you’d like to exercise a PIPA-specific right, just say so when you contact us and we’ll treat it accordingly.
17. Changes to This Policy
As Converta grows and changes, this Policy might need updates too. Whenever that happens, we’ll update the Effective Date at the top so you can tell something’s changed.
